| Streaming solution help - Dynaudio X12 + Hegel H95. Any advice would be appreciated! I don’t understand why introducing the Orbi into that mix would help? Unless you are saying that it would be a better choice due to sound quality? If so, why? I’m genuinely curious. Should I use any special RJ45 cable or is a stock one just fine?... | |
| Streaming solution help - Dynaudio X12 + Hegel H95. Any advice would be appreciated! yes, it was my plan to hardwire from the Orbi to the Hegel. As you said, no-brainer…Are there any 100 wpc amplifiers you would recommend I consider? Even if you get a streamer like the Eversolo you should still hardwire it to the Orbi and not u... | |
| USB DAC cable over 15ft - Solutions? Have you considered getting a dedicated streamer instead of using a PC? You could then put a Wi-Fi extender or Mesh node close to your system and run an Ethernet cable from that to the streamer and a much shorter USB cable to your DAC. No long cab... | |
| Streaming solution help - Dynaudio X12 + Hegel H95. Any advice would be appreciated! In doing more research, I did find that the Eversolo products mentioned in my original post handle WiFi, so I am leaning to the DMP-A8 You’re better off going hardwired from your Orbi rather than using just Wi-Fi. There’s something about strea... | |
| Streaming solution help - Dynaudio X12 + Hegel H95. Any advice would be appreciated! This Orbi unit can do RJ-45 out, so as an experiment, I was planning on running that into the Hegel network input to see it it will work and get the Hegel to "show up" as a streaming device under the Tidal/Spotify apps via my WiFi network. Try ... | |
| What sort of upgrade from Rega Brio to go with my Dynaudio's X12? I’d have to agree your Dyns would appreciate more power, but all amps sound different so it really depends on what improvements and sound characteristics you’re looking for beyond just more power. Also, what’s your budget, and are you looking for... | |
| Need recommendations on 15ft speaker cables I am expecting that with a better cable I will get more tonal density, perhaps openness and sound staging. With B&W I am planning just copper since I have heard silver can increase harshness. Ultimate goal is to get warmer yet detailed and pu... | |
| What is the Current Guidance on Stereo and AV Configurations If I had to guess, it was an asertion that being forced to manually rebalance the volume level of a front-ch amp every time you change the volume of a multichannel processor is no big deal @cundare2 Once again, this is simply false and very mis... | |
| What is the Current Guidance on Stereo and AV Configurations Without HT bypass, the two go out of sync every time you change either one. This gets even more complicated when the FL/FR receiver/speaker combination responds differently to numeric volume-dial changes than do the other channels. That is, you u... | |
| Need recommendations on 15ft speaker cables Well, these Acoustic Zen Satori cables should be a substantial improvement, and a 15’ pair along with their matching jumpers to replace the 805’s stock jumpers would still be well below your max price at $1910. Best of luck. https://www.thecable... | |
| Dirty little secret of Pedigreed, decades old Speaker line - no one will address Magico, Rockport & many speakers with ceramic drivers show how it should be done. A lot of AG forum contributors are so bright they feel they can get away with beautifully reasoned but too theoretical opinion, that may sound like it OUGHT to... | |
| Need recommendations on 15ft speaker cables Would be most helpful to know what cables you’re using now, what specific improvements/sound characteristics you’re looking for, and your budget. But just for one idea, these Pine Tree Audio cables have gotten very good feedback here and are very... | |
| What is the Current Guidance on Stereo and AV Configurations Respectfully disagree. Maybe you got lucky, maybe you’re just BS’ing. But either way, I hope the OP doesn’t fall into a booby trap. @cundare2 You can respectfully disagree all you want but you’re wrong, and the only booby trap is the one y... | |
| Paradigm 120h vs Goldenear Reference Got it. That’s interesting. Thanks, and glad you like what you’re hearing now. | |
| What is the Current Guidance on Stereo and AV Configurations using an integrated that doesn’t have HT bypass is far from a "simple" inconvenience. It means that whenever you adjust the volume level of the MC receiver, you also have to manually match the level of the integrated. Without HT bypass, the two g... |
